Although, Mortal Kombat is not in the official line-up for Evolution this year - what is making headlines across the internet is the efforts of @G4S Claude VonStroke and @AK Pig Of The Hut . What started here has turned in to something, becoming huge. Claude Von Stroke and Pig of the Hut have are and have been organizing a Mortal Kombat 9 side-tournament to take place this Saturday night in Vegas.

With a prize pot rising (currently at $1,600 and rising!), website Mortal Kombat Online has also thrown in some love for the weekend competitors!

That's about right.
It's insane how everyone came together. This community can really achieve great things if we come together. The cash prizes for MK9 is about the same or more than another tournament outside of EVO and MLG. That's kind of a big deal. Just goes to show you how much people love playing and watching MK9 at a high level.

I love this community, what it achieves is awesome :)
I agree completely. I knew about how people like Pig of the Hut were working to get an MK9 tourney going. Granted there was a lot of bickering about paying to watch the stream, but when I saw a news article on IGN about this is blew my mind. It is so amazing what can be done with enough passion and dedication!

Current total pot has now passed $2000. Note these are not "official" figures, just ones I've worked out from the main thread:

Pre-registration: 37 people, $370
Community: $1345 via gofundme
FRQ: $100 + $1 per new follower (currently 266) = $366

Total: 370 + 1345 + 366 = $2081, just over two-thirds of the Injustice pot of $3110.

Fujin and Ermac for MK 11
That's cool, would be even more interesting if NRS required everyone in the tourney to use that stick!! Having two for tourney play, that would be so cool!
